Malaysian Airlines has announced that it will continue it's ban on babies in the first class cabins of its Boeing 747-400 and that the ban will remain in place on the new Airbus A380's. The official line from the airline is that the ban is due to the lack of bassinets in the bathrooms which were removed in 2003 and will also not be in place on the new super jumbo's.

Whatever the reason, I am sure that first class passengers will be happy at the news.

The Prime Minister is to investigate claims that there is a loophole where people do not require a passport to enter the country. Officers from special branch and immigration departments have complained that people are able to use a 'Common Area Travel Channel' which allows individuals to access this country without their passports being checked.

A typical scenario would be that the individuals fly into London with an additional air ticket from a different airport in the British Isles. The additional ticket is then used to walk through the 'common area' where travellers are not always asked to show their passports. Commenting on the issue, the Prime Minister stated -

'Passport-free travel between the UK, the crown dependencies and the Republic of Ireland has been in place for many years and it does offer some real economic and social benefits. I do accept these routes can be open to abuse and we are determined to resolve this. The UK Border Agency is working very closely with Ireland and others to make sure this happens. But we've got to try to do that, without disadvantaging people who've been able to take advantage of the ‘Common Area Travel Channel’ up to now.'
